PATRONS  AND   STUDENTS   SHOULD   READ   THIS 
CIRCULAR  CAREFULLY 


COURSES     OF     STUDY 

THERE  are  three  regular  courses  of  study:  the  Reg- 
ular Literary  Course  prepares  for  College  and  Uni- 
versity, and  gives  a  good  general  education.  Stu- 
dents from  this  department  are  admitted  to  the  higher 
institutions  without  examination.  The  Business  Col- 
lege Course  is  complete  and  prepares  for  a  successful 
business  life.  The  Teacher's  Normal  Course  is  especially 
for  those  who  propose  to  become  teachers.  These  three 
courses  meet  the  needs  of  students  generally. 

EXPENSES 

WE  know  of  no  other  school  that  offers  like  advan- 
takes  for  the  same  low  rates  that  prevail  at  Whit- 
sett.  Board  is  good  and  plentiful,  and  the  rooms 
are  all  convenient  and  well  furnished.  Students  may 
have  single  rooms,  or  may  go  in  with  a  roommate  as  they 
prefer.  The  school  year  continues  for  nine  months ;  four 
months  for  the  Fall  Term,  and  five  months  for  the  Spring 
Term.  Total  cost  for  board,  tuition,  fuel,  lights,  and 
everything  for  the  entire  year  will  run  from  $150  to 
$225,  depending  upon  room  selected,  etc.  Students  who 
are  not  in  school  for  the  entire  year  are  charged  only 
for  the  time  spent  in  school. 

MILITARY    TRAINING 

WHITSETT  is  not  a  strictly  military  school,  but  to 
meet  the  demands  from  many  patrons  there  will 
be  optional  military  training  for  all  the  student 
body  free  of  any  additional  charge.  Those  who  desire 
to  take  this  special  training  will  be  given  regular  instruc- 
tion and  training  in  military  tactics  under  the  super- 
vision of  a  competent  instructor.  This  is  not  compul- 
sory, but  has  been  added  to  meet  the  wishes  of  those  who 
desire  this  special  training.  It  will  not  interfere  with 
regular  school  hours. 


WHAT    ABOUT     PROSPECTS? 

WE  are  asked  this  question  every  day.  Let  us  say 
this :  Whitsett  Institute  was  established  in  1888. 
It  has  a  successful  record  of  twenty-nine  years, 
with  several  thousand  students.  It  is  well  known  over 
this  and  other  states.  Last  year  was  a  successful  year, 
with  a  graduating  class  of  twenty-two  from  sixteen  dif- 
ferent counties.  All  indications  point  to  a  successful 
year  beginning  August  29th,  1917.  People  seem  to 
realize  that  they  cannot  afford  to  neglect  education. 
Because  a  large  part  of  the  world  is  at  war  we  must  not 
neglect  our  young  men  and  young  women.  Our  schools 
must  be  kept  open.  From  all  information  now  in  hand 
we  look  with  confidence  for  our  thirtieth  year  to  be  a 
good  one  from  all  standpoints. 

WILL    YOU    SUCCEED? 

WHITSETT  INSTITUTE  points  with  much  pride  to 
the  remarkably  fine  record  made  by  graduates  and 
students.  Consult  the  Catalogue  and  you  will 
find  that  our  students  are  to  be  found  in  leading  positions 
everywhere.  Be  careful  in  your  choice  of  a  school.  The 
school  you  select  will  have  much  to  do  with  your  success 
in  after  life.  Make  no  mistake.  Trust  to  no  experi- 
ments, but  give  the  matter  very  careful  thought.  You 
cannot  do  better  than  to  enter  at  Whitsett,  where  so 
many  have  been  prepared  for  successful  lives  for  over  a 
quarter  of  a  century. 

SATISFACTION    GUARANTEED 

AT  many  places  you  are  required  to  enter  for  the  full 
^  school  year,  and  are  charged  for  the  entire  time. 
We  have  always  been  so  sure  of  giving  satisfaction 
to  our  student  body  that  we  have  always  permitted  our 
students  to  enter  school  at  any  time  and  pay  only  for  the 
time  here.  When  they  come  they  remain,  and  in  the  few 
cases  where  for  any  reason  they  wish  to  withdraw  from 
school,  we  permit  them  to  do  so  without  question.  This 
certainly  shows  that  we  have  faith  in  our  own  work,  and 
feel  that  we  can  hold  all  reasonable  students.
